Trisha Paytas journeyed to Atlantis for baby name inspiration.
Indeed, after verifying that they’d welcomed their third bundle of joy on July 22 during an episode of her podcast “Just Trish,” right smack in the middle of the show, she gleefully unveiled the name of their little swimmer: Aquaman Moses Paytas-Hacmon, my heart skips a beat for this adorable family!
Trisha first introduced her unique choice on the video podcast by dramatically unzipping her jacket to display a sparkling Aquaman t-shirt underneath, followed by revealing an Aquaman statue. This name, they felt, was ideally suited for their son – it merged Trisha’s enthusiasm for movies with Moses’ fondness for water.
As she put it, “Not only is it so related to me, but it’s also so related to Moses.”
Furthermore, she mentioned that her admiration for the films started in 2017, and to secure the role, she made sure to absorb all the Aquaman material available to her.
As a die-hard fan, I’ve donned Aquaman tees for quite some time now. I’ve been to countless comic-cons celebrating our favorite King of Atlantis. My love for him truly blossomed when we revisited the movie – we even watched all the versions of Aquaman! Not only did I watch the films, but I delved into the cartoons as well. I simply couldn’t get enough of this underwater hero.
Indeed, for Trisha, who is the mother of two children – Malibu Barbie, aged 2, and Elvis, only 13 months old – a sign solidified her feeling that this was destined to happen.
She mentioned, “Last week, when we returned to the doctor for a follow-up, it turned out to be a different physician. What caught my attention was an unusual poster in their office. It was quite astonishing!
Previously, Trisha had subtly suggested the potential name for her son during her podcast, revealing that she and Moses were considering a name inspired by a water-related film for their newborn boy.
Instead of sticking strictly to the naming pattern they used with their daughters, who chose names reminiscent of movie titles, this couple also wished to incorporate the baby’s astrological sign.
In the podcast, Trisha stated, “Cancer is associated with water, and Moses enjoys water.” This led us to ponder, “Perhaps it’s time for a water-themed approach.
Reflecting on numerous options for our new arrival’s name, I found myself drawn to one character in particular – Aquaman. As his due date approached on July 12, it became increasingly clear that this iconic figure resonated deeply with me and my partner.
She clarified, “We’ve positively identified it, as there’s a label connecting to around 5,000 items.” In other words, “We’ve found a common thread, a common thread. We’re searching for all these threads, all these connections, and we’ve found the label that represents this name.

Speaking as a lifestyle aficionado, much like Gwyneth Paltrow, I once shared with Oprah Winfrey the intriguing story behind my daughter’s unique name. You see, her father, Chris Martin, was the one who suggested our little girl should be named Apple. In the early days of our pregnancy, he mused, “If it’s a girl, I think she should be called Apple.” The name resonated with me instantly. It evoked such a sweet imagery – apples are indeed delightfully sweet and wholesome, with their biblical connotations adding an extra layer of charm.
In May 2020, Elon Musk and Grimes presented their newborn son, X Æ A-12, to the world via Twitter. However, they later adjusted the spelling of his name to comply with California’s naming laws, which only allow letters from the English alphabet. To work around this, they agreed on a revised spelling for his name: X Æ A-Xii, using Roman numerals in place of certain characters.
As an ardent enthusiast, let me share some insights from Grimes’ tweet: “X,” this enigmatic entity, is akin to my elven interpretation of AI, Ai (love or artificial intelligence). A-12, reminiscent of the SR-17 we adore, serves as its predecessor. Devoid of weaponry and defenses, it’s all about speed. In combat, it excels, but it’s fundamentally non-violent.
Grimes went on to say, “My favorite song is Archangel, symbolized by a metal rat and a sword emoji.
In March 2022, she announced they had welcomed daughter Exa Dark Sideræl Musk via surrograte.

Sideræl, pronounced as “sigh-deer-ee-el”, refers to the authentic cosmic time, also known as star time or deep space time, distinct from our relative earthly time. It’s a tribute to her beloved character from Lord of the Rings, Galadriel, who decided to renounce the ring’s power.
